Q: What is the difference between sprouts and microgreens?
A: sprouts are consumed as a whole, with stems and seeds, usually shortly after germination.
Microgreens, on the other hand, are drawn on or in breeding media such as fleece pads from hemp or coconut, earth or hydrocultures. As soon as the first leaves, the so -called cotyledons, are fully trained, they are consumed. The lowest stem section and the root are disposed of with the breeding medium.
